Yes but lots of glazed area!

Best tariff checked religiously with Uswitch/money supermarket.

Wow we have no double glazing, in an ancient house with little other insulation all heated by wood fires and electricity.

We pay 90squids per month.

My neighbour in an identical house pays 330! I've decided they must be growing things in the attic.

£199 per month, a very inefficient detached house with little carpet, big open spaces and a few 3 metre windows.

Mine varies month to month - I take a reading every month for both Electic and Gas and submit it via the web.

You never get into an argument about over or underpaying if you pay for each month as you use it.

Actual payment is taken by two separate Direct Debits and varies from about £11 (gas, summer) to about £90 (electricity, winter) depending on season and stuff like that.
The highest it has ever been was £157 this February (unsurprising, given the weather). The lowest was £73 from July this year.

well, I guess thinking about it, ours used to be in the 40-50,000Kwh gas bracket a few years ago (old stone house with too many drafts, outside walls, etc).

changed out the entire heating system and went a bit OTT with the rads and boiler etc, now using 23,000Kwh (Aug12 to July13) and the house is much warmer.

until you do the numbers, the cost of a new boiler is peanuts compared to the cost of the gas it uses.

Elec wise, using some 7,500 PA.

£30/month, but I've got electric heating so it's about double that in winter.
